Beach, sea air and Henley Square

Smart investors and home buyers know full well that acquiring property in a blue-chip location guarantees future money in the bank. Number 87 North Street is as blue chip as it gets, set on a 697m2 elevated allotment with stunning Norfolk Pine vistas as far as the eye can see. Literally a stone's throw to the beach and just one block to Henley Square where you are spoilt for choice for fun, entertainment shopping and gourmet everything from casual eats to 5 Star dining. Top private and public schools, sporting facilities and surf club activities are all walking distance from the home. It is a wonderful community to be a part of and with a lifestyle to match. Parking is a premium in this locale and whether you are a car enthusiast or love to entertain a crowd of people, there is room for 5 cars (4 undercover) in the driveway with an additional 2 car park opportunity with entry from the rear laneway. Rear lane access opens up to many future opportunities and a north facing yard is yet another plus in what could be potentially, your dream home.
